Use of Rack
1
Place bicycles onto the rack starting at the point
closest to the vehicle. Alternate the direction the
bikes are facing when mounted on the rack. When
not carrying bikes, remove the detent pins, lower
the arms to the vertical position and re-secure the
arms with the detent pins or remove arms and
store in a secure place.
2
Soft wraps can be used to prevent your bikes from
swaying during transport. After placing the first
bike on the rack, secure it to the rack uprights as
shown. Use the remaining soft wraps to secure
each additional bike to the previous bike.
3
Position the seat post tube in the anti-sway
cradle. Attach the bikes to the block and anti-sway
mechanism using the straps provided. The bike
may be off center on the rack. It is important that
the anti-sway cradle is flush with the bicycle seat
tube.
4
To lower the rack, grasp the release lever and
while pushing the rack toward the vehicle, pull
the lever out. Support the arms of the rack while
lowering the unit.
